At the Women in Electronics Executive Luncheon at the ECIA Executive Conference, the live panel on "Advancing Cultural Innovation” discussed the growing importance of ESG/DE&I efforts and modern, inclusive HR practices in our businesses. A strong ESG proposition is linked to better talent attraction and retention, a more diverse and inclusive workforce, increased employee productivity, and stronger financial performance.

Our WE Member Highlight this month is Julie Carr, Partner - Distribution Manager at MacInnis Company, founding Advisory Board member, WE New England Chapter Co-Chair, and WE Annual Leadership Conference Co-Chair.

WE asked Julie, How did you get your start in the Electronics Industry?

"Cronin Electronics, a small electronics distributor was my first part time job. The owner, TX Cronin worked very closely with my mother from its inception, and she ultimately brought me in full time after graduation", replied Carr.

What an amazing experience at the University of California, Irvine - The Paul Merage School of Business last week!

Our next generation of leaders are smart, capable, kind, and compassionate!
